Mutnovsky volcano (climbing)
Mutnovsky volcano (climbing)
Mutnovsky volcano is located 80 km South of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Its fumarolic fields are the most powerful in Kamchatka and probably in the world.
Quite a simple climbing along the trail through the canyon "Dangerous", allows you to be directly in the crater of an active volcano.
Bubbling mud boilers, intense fumarolic activity, melting glaciers and a waterfall over 80 meters high will leave an indelible impression.
Fumarole activity on the Mutnovsky volcano began very long ago, many thousands and even hundreds of thousands of years ago therefore all walls of a crater are painted in bright colors. These are thermally altered rocks, traces of ancient and very powerful fumarole activity. The Mutnovsky volcano is an active volcano and it is from time to time there are large and small explosions.
